So you should win because you’re old? Huh. I’m old, too, and I’d bet I’ve seen a lot more bands in a lot more garages. So do I win?

I do not want these tickets but apparently John Vanderslice and Magik*Magic are playing at the SF Symphony on June 22, so I thought I’d mention that.

I am a marina mission hybrid (no hating) hipster hacker wannabe who can’t ride a fixie but loves Death Cab for Cutie. I was formerly pet named “the cutie” but am more likely to Uber than catch a death cab.

Super importantly, I am also dying to see Youth Lagoon who is opening for them.

I was a fan of Death Cab back in 1998 with ‘Something About Airplanes’,, and Ben Gibbard’s voice was there with me throughout the sometimes confusing and often lonely years of college. ‘Transatlanticism’ kept me sane. I was a devout fan when they were relatively unknown, before they were all over the OC, Gossip Girl, and became the dream of cool teenage girls everywhere. Now, I’m turning 30 and hardly their current target demographic, but darn, wouldn’t it be great to revisit those years when music defined my daily thoughts and emotions?

I’d like these tickets so that 1) I can enjoy one of my favorite bands who I last saw 10 years ago in Pittsburgh, and 2) I can treat my sister, who flew out here to take care of me after I got hit by a car and had to have hip surgery (insert “hipster” joke here?).

Well. . . I am not your typical respondee: I’m a 56 year old man, father of two in Marin County, prosperous, could buy his own tickets, for Chrisakes. . . But in fact, my daughters call me the indiest guy they know. In the 80s, I was hanging out at the bar over Paradise Lounge sitting with Chuck Prophet and Stephanie Finch, listening to Patrick Winningham. I haven’t changed a lot. My connection to Death Cab for Cutie was discovering the Postal Service, which sustained me through many late nights of work. And Magik*Magik? I won tickets to John Vanderslice & Magik at the Great American Music Hall. They were astonishingly good together. Because the fact is, Marin County or no, it’s not whether you can afford a thing or not – it’s the insistence on authenticity and faith that says go to Santa Rosa and listen to Jeffrey Lewis in some folks’ garage; and discover the Lucksmiths when their bassist plays a solo set at Hotel Utah. And if this reply isn’t good enough to win the tickets, I don’t want them anyway.

Death Cab for Cutie was a formative band that helped ween me off of a really destructive, angry, mainstream genre into something more tonal and beautiful, which ultimately changed my disposition to be kinder and affected my perspective as a whole. To be able to share the experience of their concert with by new bride by receiving these tickets would be an effusive blessing.

I need these tickets because try as I might I have not managed to stay hip. I live in the Mission, I drink really good coffee, and I’ve even seen Thee Oh Sees a couple of times. Still, I’m afraid I haven’t really been hip in over 20 years. Please help an old guy out!

I need to go to this show to help ease the pain of missing out on the Dead Milkmen that night @ Slims! If I don’t see Death Cab I might just drown myself in tears.

I’d like these tickets because the only time I’ve seen Deathcab was at the Bridge School Benefit, and my experience was impaired by a throng of 40-somethings slow grooving to I Will Possess Your Heart. Thats the kind of thing that sticks in your psyche, makes you reconsider your choices.

I deserve these tickets because nothing says angsty, overgrown scene kid (me) like Ben Gibbard crying over his divorce from Zooey Deschanel’s perfect bangs. I feel for his loss.
